the fasting month...

the fasting month, ramadhan, is a month of patience.
it tests our strength in many ways.
holding ourselves together, resisting the flow of saliva,
when we browse through rows of tents,
in the ramadhan bazaar...
this is not a place for the weak heart,
nasi ambang, ayam golek, kebab, nasi kerabu, che mek molek and many more...
"masyaallah, what should i buy?".. one would say.
the people of the bazaar would dance in rejoice...

another challenge will come as aidilfitri comes closer
lot 10, jusco, suria klcc, pusat pakaian hari-hari...
will be filled with people
who are there with a sole purpose
of buying new clothes for the festive celebration...
new jeans, baju kurung, jacket, songkok and skirts
money flows like the dashing water of ganges river
and fathers lines up at the atm machine
with tears brimming in their eyes...
